78
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 1: growth in him since I first met him. You know,

79
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: the first episode, James didn't talked to like the last

80
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,120

81
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 1: I think we might have something. Man, but James gotta talk.

82
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:54,720
Speaker 1: It's like he was just sitting in the room just

83
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 1: checking us out. But I saw him grow to the

84
00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: point to where you know, he could come up here

85
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 1: and do this ship by off now, you know. So

86
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 1: I want you all to give him a round of

87
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: applause because that's my hero right there. Wow, my nigga

Speaker 1: whatever forever and like you know, a c and we

89
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 1: went through the trials and tribulations. I ain't gonna talk

90
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:15,359
Speaker 1: about that. You know, Reggie was a part of the show,

91
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: and whatever happened with him happened. And then you know,

92

Speaker 1: everybody knows we went on this long time follows to

93
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 1: the show, but it's like this, you know, when everything

94
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: first came up, we did start getting a little attention

95
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 1: on the show. We had different companies calling us that

96
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,719
Speaker 1: wanted to talk to us, but each situation just seemed

97
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 1: like it was kind of filed. Me and James will

98
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 1: go to these meetings and James would be excited this

99
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:36,599
Speaker 1: ship and I'm like, man, I don't know if that's

Speaker 1: dope and different stuff like that, didn't have no no injuries,

107
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 1: went through your whole street career when no injuries, they

00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 1: really before she was heavy in the politics. She had

156
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 1: just really was getting her foot on doing certain things.

157
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 1: But you know, she pressed the line some bushes and

158
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 1: then now she went it Fox News clowning. They respect her.

159
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 1: They really feared though, for real because no like her,

160
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 1: like her show straight shot, no Chases. She ain't playing

161
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 1: And I'm like, man, you season a number when you

162
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 1: get all this from She's like, huh. She got me

163
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 1: watching policies. Man, let me tell you something. I couldn't

164
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:53,079
Speaker 1: stand politics because I felt the all fakers lived from

165
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,439
Speaker 1: Obama on down. He's gonna give you these prospection in

166
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 1: the past. When Obama was running for office, he was

167
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 1: promising how the crack lag gonna go. One is gonna

168
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 1: go one to one, this and that, this and that

169
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:07,680
Speaker 1: didn't get in there, and his hands is tired and

170
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 1: he can't do it. But I didn't know none of that.

171
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 1: Then I learned though that from her it's a it's

172
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 1: a process for everything. Just because you're president on me,

173
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 1: you know, you can just make this happen. So now

174
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 1: they gave me a little bit more respectful Obama, and

175
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 1: she every day she's giving me some type of tidbit

176
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 1: or game about the politics. Now, man, I'm looking at

177
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 1: it turning on there. You said I'm gonna see any

178
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:33,560
Speaker 1: and I'm on Fox. I'm on all of them just

179
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 1: because her, Because now I understand more so you got

180
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:38,839
Speaker 1: to give a shot at her for that. Dea for

181
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 1: sure shut out. She's been able to school us being uh,

182
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 1: coming from our side of the tracks, you know what

183
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 1: I'm saying, trying to live that neighborhood lifestyle whatever, and

184
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 1: then being able to flip over in the politics and

185
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 1: learning the game that those people come from. She's been

186
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 1: able to school a lot of us on the insights

187
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 1: of what you probably were knowledgeable about as far as politics.

188
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 1: She got me on it. But I like most though,

189
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 1: it is how She could give you an analogy about anything,

190
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 1: but she's showing you how crips and bloods and how

191
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:13,679
Speaker 1: we getting down on the streets. It's and in the

192
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 1: pan it's so similar how the politics get in. She

193
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 1: break it down like that, and you're like, Dan, you

194
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 1: know what I mean? Yeah, just stuff, understand that from

195
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:28,080
Speaker 1: that street side, saying she's the school. Motherfucker's on. Hey,

196
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 1: you didn't know that this, and let's let me break

197
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 1: it down to you in street terms. That's what one

198
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 1: of her her main things is, let me put it

199
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 1: in street terms for you so you can understand. And

200
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,439
Speaker 1: it's just like a button click, like damn, you know

201
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 1: what I mean. She always said she I'm trying to

202
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:44,199
Speaker 1: get eight to go on to run for me. Here

203
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 1: counter she keeps saying that, yeah, man, you know, so

204
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:52,319
Speaker 1: spoil let's go back. So I assume if he was

205
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,439
Speaker 1: out of town in Oklahoma, he was out there handling

206
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 1: your business, doing my thing. He was out there doing

207
00:10:56,640 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 1: your thing. How long was you out there? Uh? Until

208
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,679
Speaker 1: I called my case at ninety nine seven years because

209
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 1: when he was down there doing a goal there that

210
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:08,320
Speaker 1: it was a good run, that was a good out

211
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 1: of town. And how much time do you wind up

212
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:12,680
Speaker 1: doing seventeen and a half years. They give me seventeen

213
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 1: and a half years. I did fifteen years and eleven months.

214
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,560
Speaker 1: I've been home since two thousand and fifteen. And so

215
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 1: while you was in there, you started a program to

216
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 1: where you help brothers start learning how to read the

217
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 1: books and stuff like that. Right, yeah, it came about

218
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 1: you know when the car, when you're in the fest,

219
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 1: it's really states, your states. Just kick it up. And

220
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 1: then you got the bees to see sup. So we're cool.

221
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:37,200
Speaker 1: It's just us, but so you don't really get outside

222
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 1: your circle. Its state. This is Callie, where you're tremping

223
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 1: blood square open and whatever. It's Callie. And then when

224
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 1: my book first came out, at that time, I had

225
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:50,079
Speaker 1: dropped my first series with call Whoever and the Homies,

226
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,199
Speaker 1: I was getting book shifted in Homies let me read

Speaker 1: homies to read. And this is one particular HOMEI he's

229
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 1: from Houston. They led him in the car just because

230
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,719
Speaker 1: he had Fami the cafortable and Sweet messed with us.

231
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:04,319
Speaker 1: And then I could just tell it was like he

234
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:12,800

243
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:38,720
Speaker 1: I said, we ain't can do it. Every day home,

244
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:40,480

Speaker 1: come to be able to read a chapter on his own.

249
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,200
Speaker 1: I got it. You know, we gotta whisper because you

250
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 1: know that ego. You gotta keep that front up in it.

251
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 1: So after that I went down to the education. It

252
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 1: was like a man, uh, I want to teach a

253
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 1: class and they knew everybody around the yard knew I

254
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 1: had books out from prison. I signed my deal or whatever,

255
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 1: so then I got that, I got the little class started,

256
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 1: and I had like fifty people in the class, like damn.

257
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 1: So in beginning I start off just and look everything

258
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 1: that goes on in the air, I'm staying here, man.

259
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: We ain't putting it with your homies the different cause

260
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:24,680
Speaker 1: we can't keep this in here. Man. First of all,

261
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 1: if you have a filmmenty and read, let's talk about

262
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,199
Speaker 1: that too, because I want to set up something where

263
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 1: we can start getting people to getting up out of

264
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 1: here and having a shot. Instead, they teach you how

265
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 1: to fell out the applications antybody even filling out paper applications.

266
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 1: Everything is own line. So but you got to know

267
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:43,200
Speaker 1: how to read. And that's how I started. So I

268
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 1: started teaching. It was just basically giving them the floormat

269
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,319
Speaker 1: on how to write a book if you're interested in that,

270
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 1: and then slash. If you don't have the problems read,

271
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:54,320
Speaker 1: we're gonna break it down and we're gonna learn how

272
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:57,440
Speaker 1: to do it. And it's like ninety day classes. Man.

273
00:13:57,520 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 1: I did that all the way my last three years,

274
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 1: so got out and every time and just to like

275
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:08,440

Speaker 1: real good feeling. Yeah. So how many brothers would you

00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:50,360
Speaker 1: too much, you know what I mean. Ain't nothing weak

457
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:53,399
Speaker 1: about me. But this breaks you down. It makes you

458
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:56,360
Speaker 1: feel like you want to just kill yourself. That though

459
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 1: goes to your mind, you know what I mean. Then

460
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:01,120
Speaker 1: it's like, okay, I got this, look shit, I got

461
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 1: something to there, folks, you know what I mean. Then

462
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:05,639
Speaker 1: there's times where I don't want to call the homely blood.

463
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 1: Come bring me a pistol, bring me something. I'm just

464
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 1: gonna go on the east side and just shoot me

465
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 1: some of them things over there period. I mean, I've

466
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:15,679
Speaker 1: had those days where I've been in the core and

467
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:18,679
Speaker 1: I'd have rolled over in that area strapped, and then

468
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 1: to do somebody have a hobspeed chase that can't get away.

469
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:28,399
Speaker 1: I'm hold enough with it out here and let me

470
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:30,719
Speaker 1: knowing to be trying to do it in jail, so

471
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:33,119
Speaker 1: I have just sense kick in and I roll on

472
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 1: back and deal with it. But every day is a

473
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 1: struggle because how couldn't you not want to retaliate, because

474
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:42,639
Speaker 1: that's that's how we was for the fact that you

475
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:45,479
Speaker 1: are still here and you have to reminisce on the

476
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 1: fact that, well, that would make any motherfucker like until you,

477
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:53,639
Speaker 1: like you say, James, until you heal those demons and

478
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:57,119
Speaker 1: those thoughts. But that's hard. I've been shot both times

479
00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:59,200
Speaker 1: that you want you want to liffering occasions you're ready

480
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 1: to get the motherfucker. The closest was right here by

Speaker 1: my nuts with a shotgun. I still got the buckshots

482
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:11,919

555
00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 1: to be, you know what I mean. I go seek

556
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 1: to detention centers. I did in Oklahoma. I did in

557
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 1: Texas at UH when that was Testas set that up.

558
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 1: It was a Texas Southern College. And then I go

559
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 1: to the juvenile halls and just we are doing this pandemic.

560
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 1: We've been doing zooms just to see how the kids

561
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:20,480
Speaker 1: hang on my every word. And I'm because I'm telling

562
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:22,920
Speaker 1: that this ain't no movie, This ain't no scared straight,

563

Speaker 1: I ain't trying to scape. Just real, look at it,

564
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:27,920
Speaker 1: and this was a fluke, you know what I mean,

565
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,679
Speaker 1: It's real. I think the problem with that is because

566
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 1: ship just like we was when we was fifteen, sixteen, seventeen,

567
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 1: it was hard for motherfucker to tell us not to

568
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 1: bang or rept the hood because we felt like ship,

569
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 1: what else is it if you're doing it still at

570
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:49,520
Speaker 1: end them the day because we've been there and done that.

571
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 1: The way we used to get down is totally different.

572
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 1: The time they used to give you back then setay

573
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:57,720
Speaker 1: two hours. If a motherfucker didn't show up, you walked

574
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 1: away from my mind. Now today you're getting motherfucking life

575
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 1: at fourteen, fifteen years old. They don't give a fuck.

576
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 1: But when when we was doing it, I mean, it

577
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 1: was a slap on the ridge, get the funk on.

578
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:13,120
Speaker 1: You know, they see us again something you know what

579
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 1: I'm saying. But some dude listen and something don't. What

580
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,719
Speaker 1: is the effect of the motherfucker's who tell you just

581
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 1: like I'm been through them the episodes too at fifteen

582
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 1: sixteen and the motherucker trying to tell you you shouldn't

Speaker 1: I'm gonna take to twenty for travel to take this.

756
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:09,319
Speaker 1: Take the deal because like the grand jury certified, once

757
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:13,440
Speaker 1: they certified what they were, it is God law. And

758

767
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:39,080
Speaker 1: been worse, and it would have been worse to take

768
00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:40,680
Speaker 1: this time and learn something. Come out of there with

769
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:43,160

Speaker 1: I've been down and you know promotion going to the

919
00:45:48,560 --> 00:45:50,719

921
00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:54,239
Speaker 1: it ain't the state. I ain't gonna go through that.

922
00:45:54,239 --> 00:45:56,640
Speaker 1: I know somebody that was in the first or calling

923
00:45:56,680 --> 00:45:58,799
Speaker 1: home he went went Since since how did Detroit men

924
00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:01,360
Speaker 1: tell himmu? Did Tim brings people up there? And the

925
00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:04,640
Speaker 1: people who I'm doing the signings, it becomes redundant. This

926
00:46:04,719 --> 00:46:07,840
Speaker 1: is what we're doing from basically May October. That's the

927
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:12,200
Speaker 1: little circuit run where you hit Detroit, Columbus, Cincinnati, Indiana,

928
00:46:12,440 --> 00:46:15,800
Speaker 1: then you hit Philly, New York, Jersey, and then you

929
00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:18,720
Speaker 1: hit the South. And what's so crazy? What I'm thinking,

930
00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:21,160
Speaker 1: how can I hear all these states and getting all

931
00:46:21,200 --> 00:46:24,480
Speaker 1: this money but can't feel good? California is like number

932
00:46:24,520 --> 00:46:28,680
Speaker 1: twenty on my list, it's my best sellers. How come

933
00:46:28,719 --> 00:46:33,680
Speaker 1: where I'm from, where I know thousands of bloods because

934
00:46:33,719 --> 00:46:37,640
Speaker 1: everybody houses of crips. Why motherfucker's can't get my book

935
00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:39,440
Speaker 1: at home? This is says, that's just how we do

936
00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:43,120
Speaker 1: it because we don't read, and we don't read. We're

937
00:46:43,200 --> 00:46:45,560
Speaker 1: too visual. They do that in music but yeah, we're

938
00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:49,279
Speaker 1: too visual. We want to see the movie instead of

939
00:46:49,320 --> 00:46:51,120
Speaker 1: read the book. But you know they always say the

940
00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:53,880
Speaker 1: book is better than the movie. But in California, no

941
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:59,000
Speaker 1: matter how many problem, I had four books signings at

942
00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:02,279
Speaker 1: the mall one deo. I said about twit thirty books. Man,

00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:16,480
Speaker 1: go to Columbus sell out and it's the same people

947
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:19,520

00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:22,719
Speaker 1: new people. It's I heard about you. Hey, I got

949
00:47:22,760 --> 00:47:24,920

00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:28,520
Speaker 1: You gotta buy one. Man, I got this book. I

952
00:47:28,640 --> 00:47:30,759
Speaker 1: bound with this with signing just so they can put

953
00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:33,920
Speaker 1: it up. And then that's how you build it and

954
00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:36,359
Speaker 1: the building a night. Right now, I'm a national best

955
00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:39,920
Speaker 1: selling Arthor builds your farther from the ground up, from

956
00:47:39,960 --> 00:47:42,480
Speaker 1: the from the prison to the street. I'm still trying

957
00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:44,879
Speaker 1: to get the West coast. I'm trying to get the house,

958
00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:47,640
Speaker 1: but I can't lose money. Set and trying to get

959
00:47:47,680 --> 00:47:49,759
Speaker 1: home to cracket, y'all here with it. I'm gonna get

960
00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:52,560

Speaker 1: same time, y'all, y'all want movies in that's coming to

964
00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:01,840

965
00:48:01,960 --> 00:48:04,480
Speaker 1: can't do, yeah, for sure, because West Coast is definitely

966
00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:07,279
Speaker 1: a more visual place. So let me ask you this man,

967

1225
01:01:40,720 --> 01:01:44,640
Speaker 1: That was our mentality just doing this up. But that

01:01:44,800 --> 01:01:49,080
Speaker 1: was our be foe deep. We gotta murder. We just

Speaker 1: Lou Taco from Singapore and I'm like, damn, I'm looking back,

1236
01:02:15,880 --> 01:02:17,720
Speaker 1: you went through and now at what you're doing that

1237
01:02:17,840 --> 01:02:19,919
Speaker 1: maybe God had this plan for you the whole time.

1238
01:02:20,160 --> 01:02:22,080
Speaker 1: That's crazy. I wish I could show you the tape

1239
01:02:22,480 --> 01:02:25,800
Speaker 1: or whatever. My talks. Uh Oklahoma is one of the

1240
01:02:25,960 --> 01:02:29,920
Speaker 1: very first talks I did. And uh at the end

1241
01:02:29,960 --> 01:02:33,640
Speaker 1: of when I've seen how the kids were like, I

1242
01:02:33,720 --> 01:02:35,840
Speaker 1: had a spill for the girls and they had a

1243
01:02:35,920 --> 01:02:38,120
Speaker 1: spill for the whole over thing. It was a meaning

1244
01:02:38,120 --> 01:02:40,040
Speaker 1: because it all came up the dome and it came

1245
01:02:40,080 --> 01:02:42,360
Speaker 1: from the heart. I was breaking them to the girls.

1246
01:02:42,640 --> 01:02:44,640
Speaker 1: Oh y'all know, I'll you know what y'all want, y'all

1247
01:02:44,640 --> 01:02:47,240
Speaker 1: want that. It's gonna give you the get you the

1248
01:02:47,320 --> 01:02:50,040
Speaker 1: fly rings and the fly hair dudes, and the Gucci bag.

1249
01:02:50,160 --> 01:02:52,160
Speaker 1: And they said, I said, but that's the show money there,

1250
01:02:52,400 --> 01:02:54,520
Speaker 1: because when he get caught, when he first saw, when

1251
01:02:54,520 --> 01:02:56,720
Speaker 1: he gets you to be pregnant, the baby's gonna have everything.

01:02:56,720 --> 01:02:58,720
Speaker 1: You're gonna figeg out a road from that. Everything's good.

1253
01:02:59,240 --> 01:03:01,520
Speaker 1: And then when you get he go to jail, he's

1254
01:03:01,520 --> 01:03:03,400
Speaker 1: gonna need you to come bringing that weed sex. We

01:03:03,520 --> 01:03:05,760
Speaker 1: get paid for this, lawyer. Then it's gonna keep working.

1256
01:03:05,760 --> 01:03:07,520
Speaker 1: You're gonna stemping up to read the hair run and

1257
01:03:07,560 --> 01:03:09,480
Speaker 1: then you're gonna get coast. So now you're gonna be

1258
01:03:09,560 --> 01:03:11,280
Speaker 1: in jail. He's gonna be a jim. And you keep

1260
01:03:13,240 --> 01:03:15,080
Speaker 1: I gotta take care of your kids. I said, now

1261
01:03:15,160 --> 01:03:17,000
Speaker 1: think about that. Then I get at the dudes and

1262
01:03:17,080 --> 01:03:19,640
Speaker 1: tell that man, this ship don't last. I'm looking in

1263
01:03:19,760 --> 01:03:21,560
Speaker 1: your eyes and I can tell who's with it and

1264
01:03:21,600 --> 01:03:24,240
Speaker 1: who's not. And I'm not gonna point you out, but

1265
01:03:24,360 --> 01:03:26,160
Speaker 1: I can look at you because I can see the

1266
01:03:26,200 --> 01:03:28,840
Speaker 1: food because I was once to food, and so I

1267
01:03:28,880 --> 01:03:30,240
Speaker 1: said back the end of the whole thing. When I

1268
01:03:30,360 --> 01:03:33,040
Speaker 1: tied off, I said, who do y'all want? Short money?

1269
01:03:33,080 --> 01:03:35,480
Speaker 1: Along money? Long money? Is that due to took his time?

1270
01:03:35,560 --> 01:03:38,040
Speaker 1: Square went to school, got him a job, rather it

1271
01:03:38,120 --> 01:03:40,120
Speaker 1: was met or what the college? You got a career

1272
01:03:40,240 --> 01:03:42,360
Speaker 1: because that's gonna pay all long money. Then then here

1273
01:03:42,400 --> 01:03:44,200
Speaker 1: it's gonna go to Jim. So who do y'all want?

1274
01:03:44,400 --> 01:03:47,080
Speaker 1: I wanted to short money, short but you know long money,

1275
01:03:47,120 --> 01:03:50,040
Speaker 1: long money? Okay? Cool. I tell the dudes the same thing.

1276
01:03:50,320 --> 01:03:54,400
Speaker 1: But at the end, I said, man, listen, lord, my

1277
01:03:54,520 --> 01:03:59,800
Speaker 1: home was something about something. So they say, uh, I say, man,

1278
01:04:00,440 --> 01:04:03,400
Speaker 1: and this was this was It's beautiful that you asked

1279
01:04:03,440 --> 01:04:05,880
Speaker 1: that question, because this was a real touching point for me,

1280
01:04:06,120 --> 01:04:07,560
Speaker 1: and I knew then that this is what I wanted

1281
01:04:07,560 --> 01:04:10,440
Speaker 1: to really do. I said, man, when I used to

1282
01:04:10,560 --> 01:04:13,920
Speaker 1: lay down and wonder when I should go to funerals

1283
01:04:14,440 --> 01:04:17,640
Speaker 1: and see see how homie being buried. That wasn't even

1284
01:04:17,720 --> 01:04:20,520
Speaker 1: really like that. We're being a homie. That was a

1285
01:04:20,600 --> 01:04:23,880
Speaker 1: mediocre game banger at best, where if they seen me

1286
01:04:24,000 --> 01:04:26,160
Speaker 1: and him next to each other, they're gonna be gunning

1287
01:04:26,200 --> 01:04:28,400
Speaker 1: for me more than him. And now I'm looking at

1288
01:04:28,480 --> 01:04:31,840
Speaker 1: his family, and I'm asking just crying and did it

1289
01:04:31,920 --> 01:04:34,680

Speaker 1: I still here and why I'm not the one laying down.

1291
01:04:37,640 --> 01:04:39,720
